Abstract

PURPOSE:To reinforce a common lead pattern easily at low cost even when a heating element group comes near the common reinforcement pattern by a method in which a common reinforcement pattern of Ag is formed near the end of the common lead pattern, and both patterns are connected with an Ag- resin paste. CONSTITUTION:A graze glass layer 2 is formed on a ceramic base plate 1, and an Ag material is printed and baked to form a commong reinforcement pattern 3. An Au material is printed over all face but the region of the pattern 3 and baked. It is further subjected to a light exposure and etching process by using a given mask to form a common pattern 4 and a wiring lead pattern 5. A heating resistance element group 6 is then printed and baked, and afterwards, an overglass layer 7 is likewise printed and baked. Holes 8 are formed in a part of the layer 7, crossing over the common reinforcement pattern 3 and the common pattern 4. The holes 8 are filled with a mixture of Ag material and epoxy resin as a conductive resin paste to form a conductive resin pattern 9.

In Fig. 8, a common lead pattern ■ and a selection lead pattern Oυ are provided at both ends of each heating resistor element group.
By applying a voltage to the common lead pattern (7) and changing the potential of 1 selected lead pattern a, Joule heat is applied to 1 heating resistor element group 4, causing any heating resistor element group (support) to generate heat. Thermal paper (not shown) on the resistive element group υ can be colored. These devices are usually called thermal heads and are made of ceramic substrate Q3h.
The components include the common lead pattern, selective lead pattern, heating resistor element group, protective film (not shown), etc.Thermal heads often generate a large amount of heat;
A ceramic substrate port is mounted on a heat sink 114 made of an aluminum plate or the like. In addition, since a relatively large drive current is required, in the case of one common lead pattern e3+addition, a metal film (c) is used to strengthen the common lead pattern.
